Usage Guidelines

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a protocol by which one Cisco device can recognize, and be recognized by, another Cisco device. The run command starts the system sending out signals to the other systems. The timer command sets the amount of time, in seconds, that these signals are sent. The holdtime sets the amount of time a system will recognize another system without receiving a signal. For example, if your system’s holdtime is set to 30 seconds, and another system that has already been recognized by yours does not send a signal within that

30 seconds, your system will cease to recognize it. If you are using the no cdp command, the timer and holdtime commands set their respective values to the default value.

Example

This command sets the cdp packet’s retransmission time at 10 seconds.
